ZH_3_13 — Women in Astronomy: Hypatia, Caroline Herschel, Henrietta Leavitt

Women have contributed to astronomy from antiquity to the present — often against formidable institutional barriers, many of which persisted well into the 20th century. Hypatia of Alexandria (~355–415 CE) was a renowned

R_3_02 — Horizontal Gene Transfer in Complex Life

For decades, the "tree of life" was the central metaphor of evolutionary biology — species branching neatly from common ancestors through vertical gene transmission (parent to offspring). This metaphor is now BROKEN, at
